censorship

[The Might]

I understand what mean by that, I too enjoy heated discussions, especially if both sides bring good arguments, however it is important to always keep in mind this is a family friendly site, and there are certain rules that shouldn't be broken, and certain lines that shouldn't be crossed.
As long as the discussion takes place within these boundaries I personally have no problem.
Censorship of words such as "damn" did seem to me sometimes as unnecessary considering what you see on the net or on TV these days, but I comply because these are the rules I as a member have to play by.
For some such constraints are too much, but I'm ok with that, since our whole society is based on certain rules.

For example comparing another member (who probably knows is the one targeted) to Joseph Stalin already implies crossing a line that you shouldn't cross.
Such things are much easier in RL, because you know who you're talking to, but on forums you need to take more care, you could be addressing a 9 year old girl or a 80 year old man, and this in a way you normally probably wouldn't.

Anyway, I hope you'll learn that you can have fun and enjoy the Downs even with all the rules, and that you won't leave the site.

Cheers, TM
